6th Grade Field Trip to the Hall at Patriot’s Place
On October 17th, the 6th Grade is going on a Field Trip to the Hall at Patriot’s Place. Students will participate in a STEM based collaborative learning activity related to the 6th grade curriculum frameworks.
Nature's Classroom- 6th grade
The sixth grade students are once again preparing for their trip to Nature's Classroom. The trip will take place April 11 - 14, 2023. This trip is an incredible experience for our 6th graders and also represents the culminating experience of the Howard sixth grade curriculum. We hope to have all the students attend this meaningful trip.
A payment schedule was sent home at curriculum night. For any parent who did not attend your child was given a packet of information. The total for the trip is $375. The first payment of $125 is due Tuesday October 11, 2022.
We will also be looking for chaperones for the trip. If you are interested in chaperoning please send Mrs. Wenzel (mwenzel@wbridgewater.com) an email to express your interest. If we have more chaperones interested than needed for the trip we will have a lottery.

Hi, Sam Stapleton here to tell you about the upcoming events for student council.
We will be having a canned food drive throughout October. Please bring in nonperishable food items.
On October 28, 2022, we will be having a Halloween theme day. Wear a costume that is school appropriate and make sure to have fun.
